SMALL CHECKS are invariably combined with

LAUNDKRED COSTUMES are little worn this season.
The French and Scotch ginghams are not made to
be Numbered the first season they are worn.

THE BROOCH has taken the place Of the small
cravat pin, and is worn generally with the severe
tailor made costumes and Is in harmony with the
pla1nneSS OF the effect.

fringe is worked for both ends.
BEIGE PIG-SKIN GLOVES are the most stylish wear
This season, and come in all the desirable shades.
They are durable as well as elegant, and for that
reason are desirable for summer gloves.
The BoDICEs OF ALL COSTUMES for out-of-door
wear In the summer are made as loose and comfort
able as Is possible and still have them shapey.
Very Stifly boned bodices are no longer elegant
LOT any occasion and are only seen In would-be
stylish costumes.
LACE NETS, fiounces and edgings are largely in
demand for summer use, and wash laces in Egyp-
tlan designs are the most popular to combine with
challis, delaines and other lightweight wooden
goods, or with the various cotton fabrics showing
SILK or wool designs and finish.
JERSEY BATHING-SUITs fit the figure closely In
the waist part, the drawers are made closer than
the other styles but not tight, and the tunic
is shorter and not very full These are much liked
by swimmers and for that exercise the tunic Is
often omitted, especially for private bathing. A
cid

looms at Lyons are ribbed Silks Bengalines and

The Americas Cup.
From the New York Times.
When the dimensions Of tine Scotch cutter
Thistle were sent to this country accompanying
the formal challenge for the Americas cup, an
article appeared in these columns asserting that
yachtSmen who viewed the new vessels figures
with alarm had good cause for their fears We
said on April that cutter IS feet long, 20 feet
in beam, and IA feet In depth was in common par
lance, an ugly customer. IF her lines prove to be
what may be expected from man like Watson"
continued the article, "she will be very danger
Gus antagonist and there is some reason to appre-
bend that the Americas cup may go back to the
land whence the famous old schooner brought it
The justice Of these remarks has been more
than demonstrated by the performances of the
Thistle. She has proved to be vessel OF great
sailcarry1ng power, and her consequent speed, in
both light and brisk winds, has been fully shown
The London Times, in commenting on her victory
in the race from Harwich to SOuthend, said that
she was unQuestiOnably knot an hour faster than
the Irex. Last year. after the cup contests j. Bea-
vor-Webb, designer OF the Genesta and Galatea,
wrote to England that the Mayflower was at least
a knot an hour faster than the Irex. This would
make her speed only equal to that OF the Thistle,
OF doubtful issue. But Edward Burgess designer
OF the Puritan and Mayf1Ower says that he be-
| lieves the Thistle by the time she reaches Amer
lea, will be about % minutes faster than the
Genesta over 50-mile course. The Puritan beat
the GeneSta only minute and 80 seconds over q
4O-mile course in fine breeze, and the MayfOwer
is not so much faster than the Puritan as to give
reason for suppOsing that she would be 20 minutes
| better than the GeneSta.
Unless, therefore, the new steel sloop now in
course or construction at Wilmington should
| prove to be considerably faster than the May
| flower, the chances OF the Clyde boats taking
| home the cup are great. English yachtsmen have
said since the Thistle began her work that II they
could not win with her 1t would be useless for them
| to try again. AS we have already said, 1t would
be good thing for yachting here ii the Thistle
won. without the annual contest for the
| Americas Cup yachting would in all prob
ability sink out OF public COgnizance as rifle shoot
ing has done since the cessation OF International
matches.
